I made this for the I Recommend Cooking Game. We thought this was a good recipe. I made it with broccoli, carrots and onions but for me 2 cups of julienned carrots is too much. Next time I will add more soy sauce as I couldn't really taste it in the dish.

We really loved this but had to make a few changes to suit our tastes but the DH is all for making it again. We doubled the meat (budget rump beaten out and thinly sliced - we're carnivours) and the sauce but used about 6 cups of vegetables (brocolli, carrot, cauliflower, snowpeas, beansprouts and baby corn). Only used 1 tomatoe which was deseeded and chopped (would use 2 next time) and added the tomatoe at the beginning with the other vegetables. In realty had enough to serve 6 (left overs will freeze and see how they go with DH on shift when reheated - could become a OAMC recipe). Thank you ratherbeswimmin' for a keeper. Made as a Recipenap fir Recipe Swap #14 - March 2008.
